Profile 2.0 is for discs that have Blu-disc's with interactive internet features. Yes there are some commercially available Blu-ray discs now appearing with internet features. However, for us mere mortals these are features not yet supported by Blu-ray authoring software. A profile 1.1 player will do fine.

A word of caution is to ensure the firmware of your Blu-ray player is up to date. Some of the earlier models shipped before the final profile 1.1 spec was nailed down. It is very easy to upgrade the Blu-ray player's firmware so there is no need for concern if needs to be done. Cheers!

Or you could use Western Digital HD TV, a $100 (or so) box that you connect to the HDTV with HDMI.
The box has 2 USB ports and you can attach a USB stick or external Hard Disk and play a number of formats in HD (even 1080P).
I have it at home and use FC. I have played both 720 and 1080 EX footage on my 42 HDTV using this box and it looks great.
Chck out the thread called someting like "the magic box for viewing EX footage"
PS you canīt play the native files on the box, but I guess you have edited the footage already and should be good to go.

There is also a similar box called Popcorn 110 or something, but I havenīt used it

If you go the Blu-Ray route, I'd bring the finished disc with out and try it in the store Blu-Ray player before you buy.

I don't have any first hand experience with it yet, but the Western Digital unit sure sounds like a good way to go. Too bad the only option is to connect a hard drive. A SD card would be a slick option. (maybe you can use a USB thumb drive?)

I have successfully used a USB thumb drive to view EX footage with the WD HDTV.
I do remember someone saying a message (the file name I think) is displayed for 3 seconds when the loop starts over. Not sure as I havenīt looped anything yet.
The Popcorn 110 device have a hard drive in the box, the WD donīt.
They come with remotes so no computer need

I have video shot with my Z1, and video shot with my EX1. I have compared video displyed on my LCD monitor at 1080 and an 42" LCD HDTV that plays Apple TV files. The biggest quality difference I can see isn't between the 1080i & 720p ...it's between video shot with the Z1 and video shot with the EX1.

Put some quality video shot with the EX1 on an HD set with an Apple TV and you won't scoff at it.
